Someone new has come. If you want to see let’s go. He always has two bags slung from his shoulders: discrimination and renunciation. श्री विने मा​ाँ मा​ाँ वाणी पड़ी गंगा समि​िे ब्रह्ममयी गेि मा​ाँ दिन िे खा ता नाही दि​िे Shree vadane maa maa vaanee padi Gangaa salile Brahmamayee gela maa dina dekhaa ta naahi dile

His holy lips repeat “Mother, Mother” These worlds flow like the waters of the Ganga: “O Mother embodiment of Brahman, another day has gone by and you have not revealed yourself to me.” नाजस्तक अज्नानी नरे सरि कथाय मशखािे येइ कािी सेइ कृष्ण नाम भेि एक मोिे

Naastika ajnaanee nare sarala kathaya shikhaale ye e kaalee se- e Krishna naama bheda eka mole

With simple words, he teaches the atheists and the ignorant; “She, who is Kali, She is Krishna, only the name is different: in essence they are the same.” एक्वा वाटर पानी वारर नाम िे य जिे आल्िा गोड़ इशा मुशा कािी नाम भेिे िािे Ekvaa vaatar paanee vaari naama deya jale Aallaa God Eshaa mushaa Kaalee naama bhede bale

Water is given different names: aqua, paani, vaari, jala. Even so, God is called by different names Allah, Jesus Moses, Kali. िीन धनी मानी ज्नानी ववचार नाइ जाती कुिे आपन हारा पागि पारा सरिे नेहाररिे

Deena dhanee maanee jnaanee vicaara naa-e jaati kule aapana haaraa paagala paara sarale nehaarile

He does not discriminate among the lowly, the rich, the respected, and the educated: he does not discriminate on the basis of caste and kinship.

Behold Him! - Free of egoism, seemingly mad, simple. ि ू िाहु तुमिये डाके आयरे तोरा आय चिे तोडेर तरे कृपा करे िसे आिी ववरिे यतन करर पारे ता तरी िेधेची भवरा कूिे

Lifting both hands, he calls: “Come one and all! Come! For your sake, out of compassion, I am waiting all alone. A ship has been prepared with much effort to take you across the ocean of samsara.” एसेिे नूतन मानष ु िे खबि यदि आय चिे
